Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

I think a cookie pie can be confusing to some, what’s the point, right? You could make cookies OR you could make pie. But once you try cookie pie, then you’ll understand why someone would want to make a cookie pie!
A cookie pie is everything you love about cookies – but thicker, softer and chewier!
The outside of the cookie pie is crispy and golden. The inside is thick and perfectly chewy, with amazing peanut butter flavor and tons of chocolate chips.

Plus it’s way easier to eat ice cream with a piece of cookie pie rather than with a single cookie.

This peanut butter cookie pie would be a delicious alternative to a birthday cake. Just grab some icing from the store and write “Happy Birthday!”

I saved some of the chocolate chips for the top of the cookie pie – just press them into the top of the cookie before putting the pan in the oven.

The great thing about cookies are that they are adaptable. You could reduce the amount of chocolate chips and add in walnuts, pecans, peanut butter chips, M&MS, etc! Make it as loaded as you want with extra add-ins. And don’t forget the the ice cream, my fav is vanilla bean!
